I did not own a business in 2017. However TT is indicating that a Schedule C must be completed. How do I get out of the loop of completing a Schedule C?

Under Business Summery, Gross and Net Income, Salary, 1099 Misc and Other Common Income and Business Income  are 0. Not sure why TT is requiring a Schedule C.

Did you get a 1099-Misc with Box 7 income?

[dorothy-a-millig]

Can you direct me to where I look for this information?

[Coleen3]

You would have a paper form, like you have a W-2.

[dorothy-a-millig]

I did not receive a W-2 for this tax year

[Coleen3]

What is your income source?

[dorothy-a-millig]

Investment income which was entered into my tax return.

If you did not have a business but somehow answered a question that pulled up a Schedule C, you can delete it.

Here's the general procedure for deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

1. Open your return in TurboTax. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax, and select the Take me to my return button.)
2. In the left side bar, select Tax Tools> Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions.
